Various Designs of Nonpulsatile Blood Pumps

  • Conference paper

Abstract

A subset of rotary pumps are the hydrodynamic pumps. The basic parts of a hydrodynamic pump are the housing and a set of rotating blades mounted on a wheel. The energy is transmitted from the pumping wheel to the pumped fluid by hydrodynamic forces, similar to the lift of an airfoil in an airplane. For increased efficiency there can be a stator, which consists of nonmobile blades that direct the flow going into or coming out of the pumping wheel.
